Enrollment opens for Tallahassee Classical School for 2019-20 school year

Enrollment is open for Tallahassee Classical School, the charter that received pushback from Leon County Schools.

The public, tuition-free school is accepting applications for grades K-8 for the upcoming 2019-20 school year. Applications will be accepted through Jan. 14 for its lottery. On Jan. 15, if there are more applicants than seats, a lottery will be held. If needed, a second enrollment will open until Feb. 14.

The school's curriculum will focus on liberal arts. It intends to add a new grade level each year through the 12th grade. It received more than 350 letters of interest, according to a release. Students living in Leon County will receive preference during the lottery process, but it is open to those outside the county.

“The best time to get a spot at the school is during this initial open enrollment period,” said Jana Sayler, one of the school's founders and board chair. “Early adopters and those enrolling now will have first access to this school and be offered sibling preference.”
